Summary of influenza epidemic situation in China

(As of March 10th, 2024)

Monitoring data show that the positive rate of influenza virus detection in southern and northern provinces continued to decline this week. B(Victoria) strain was the main strain, followed by A(H3N2) subtype and A(H1N1)pdm09 subtype. Twenty-two outbreaks of influenza were reported nationwide.

From April 3, 2023 to March 10, 2024 (based on the experimental date), 1875 strains (97.3%) of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus were similar strains of A/Victoria/4897/2022; 1233 strains (40.9%) of influenza virus subtype A(H3N2) are similar strains of A/Darwin/9/2021 (chicken embryo strain); 1219 strains (40.4%) were similar to A/Darwin/6/2021 (cell strain); B(Victoria) strain 1052 (98.7%) is similar to B/Austria/1359417/2021.

Since April 3, 2023, drug resistance monitoring showed that all influenza strains of subtype A(H1N1)pdm09 were sensitive to neuraminidase inhibitors, except five strains of subtype A(H1N1)pdm09. All strains of influenza A(H3N2) and influenza B are sensitive to neuraminidase inhibitors. All influenza strains A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2) subtype and B are sensitive to polymerase inhibitors.

IV. Monitoring of virus variation in local cases

From February 1 to February 29, 2024, 6653 local cases of Covid-19 genome were reported from 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, all of which were Omicron variants, and the main epidemic strains were JN.1 series variants. According to the sampling date, the proportion of XBB and its sub-branches has been declining recently, while the proportion of JN.1 and its sub-branches has been increasing. See figure 4.

spring

It is the season of high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases.

It’s the turn of winter and spring.

Repeated climate change

In addition, there are more population movements.

In places where people are relatively concentrated

It is easy to cause the spread of respiratory infectious diseases

Please take good health protection.
